The Torrigiani family
joined "the world of wine" from 1280 when their
ancestor Ciardo Torrigiani, who signed up to the Vinther's
Guild in that same year, opened a thriving business in Florence
that developed successfully in Italy and then in all of the
Europe. A part of the Torrigiani family moved to Nuremberg,
in Germany, where they sold wine and made a conspicuous fortune
that was invested in terrain of their origin: Tuscany.
